Mass-Blocking Thousands of Accounts to Deal With LGF’s “Sleeper Epidemic”?

In last night’s thread, Sergey brought up the fact that Sharmuta was banned (we’ll assume this was prompted by some recent lurking over here, ’cause it sort of came out of the blue), forcing Johnson to address the issue. After initially denying that Sharmuta was banned, he admitted that she had in fact fallen victim to his never-before-announced 6 month account dormancy rule:

While our analysis showed that the bulk of the 10,000 plus accounts that were blocked in the past 12 months were relatively dormant, we should probably do some fact-checking to see if this 6 month claim seems plausible (a quick glance at our graphs, and you get a whiff of something).

Naturally, Johnson felt compelled to explain the reasoning behind this (from the average loozard’s perspective) rather surprising revelation, and up came the funny part:

Um….yea…that’s the ticket. A “sleeper” epidemic! An epidemic so out of control that, instead of dealing with trolls on a case-by-case basis (like every other blog on the planet), Johnson had no other choice but to auto-block ten thousand accounts! Of these, many were undoubtedly regular readers who chose not to log in, or casual commenters that hadn’t been around in a while (along with some veritable legends like Sharmuta).

Needless to say, it doesn’t make too much sense. You could tell that the loozards knew it, too (it killed the thread).

“I won’t disagree with that. It still makes me cringe a bit to see the list of my comments, not so much what I wrote but that I thought it was important at the time. I was drunk and offended at the open displays of racism towards the First Lady but my little temper tantrum did nothing to stem the tide. They did change their comment policy the next day but it didn’t change the amount of hate out there a single bit. It was pointless.”

we all knew that at the time…KT was just having fun and HA deserved whatever negative attention they got…I supported him then and still do..I get sick to death of these righteous blog freaks who have a double standard for everything

Then he must have wanted to completely spell out the “N” word pretty badly. Burned right thru the drunken haze. Charles may not have asked Kilgore to do it, but everyone knew Kilgore did it for Charles. Sad little boot licker.

Killgore spends a lot of time on Stormfront. I could never go there even for one minute any more then I could look at Olbermann’s show (before he got fired for the umpteenth time) or any otherMSNBC shows.

there is much more to this story…CJ is being evasive, probably even lying…Sharmuta is a friend of mine and I will champion her if I can…the question is why did her account go dormant?…I will protect Sharm but I will also say this…CJ knows the truth but must be to embarrassed to spill it….he’s an asshole

Remember NY Nana? She used to trash people the second they got banned, even her friends and then when Carl In Jerusalem got banned she spoke up and got banned herself.That is why the Correspondence Committee people want nothing to do with her.

All the ex LGFers were at one time in the position of trashing and piling on the stalker blogs etc and past posters. once they moved on and got a measure of sanity back from not being in the group think they turned around and got health.

I am still amused by how hard Hoosier Hoops trashed Goddess-otc when she left LGF.

What’s this nasty bullshit? People in Charles’ good graces were nasty anytime they felt like. And profane. I got flamed and was the target of nasty and mean comments several times just because someone disagreed with me. Charles as usual these days is completely FOS, a liar and reserves a double standard for himself and his blog.

after the Great Purge, I got pounded by noobs of every sort…talk about piling on, I brawled with 3-4 at once…called all sorts of bad names, treated pretty vile, yet CJ never came to back me up, not once ever…in fact he probably like it….hence, when Ludwigout came along, I gently prodded him into hysterics knowing that it was bruising CJ’s image and blowing the minds of Luds bots that thought he was better than the rest of us during the AGW debates….I was always proud of my little subterfuge

Why the hell would you have stayed there? Outside of maybe 3 commenters – Buck,lawhawk, and,maybe one other person, they are all a bunch of maroons. Life is too short and precious to waste time on ignoramuses who see Nazis and raaaaacists every where.

Man, is he a knee jerk reactionist or what? Just yesterday he was all a-twitter with Mandy over planted racist comments. This move is assuredly a step to squelch what his paranoid mind sees as an opportunity for someone to go and plant something in a dead thread (which I bet you his minions do with impunity).

He’s afraid someone from the DoD will do it, LOL!! Living rent free in his head!

No shit, Sherlock. The code be all fubar and so forth. You should re-read that pile of books you once photographed and posted as your “weekend’s homework,” and then do something about the fubarness of it all.

Ludwigout was so tempermental that he was comical…with his phony sophistication, flowery lingo, and towering stature….spit…I’m a beer and burger sort of guy not hardly inclined to grovel to the likes of his type…the only person that ever intimidated me was Levon Helm and that was my doing…Lud was a specimen….I think he’s in a jar somewhere on a shelf

Happy birthday table9! Can’t believe it is 3 years already. Seems like just yesterday when that miserable irish rose tried to get you guys offline. ha! Last one standing and all that stuff. I will visit after the bball game.

twitter has consumed CJ…he’s not my kind of man…I raised a girl from scratch and she’d kick his ass…can you see Charles responding to some new tweet as he stumbles into a mall fountain?…he’s bombing his blog with tweetshit and the natives can’t even find the groove…an epic meltdown…look at who’s not posting

haysoos :
bootlicker?…LOL!
did it for Charles?…CJ did not approve, unless you go into bot conspiracy land…most people didn’t approve, but I did…it didn’t have anything to do with LGF

Yeah right. ha!
Killgore Guppie did it because he is a racist mofo and loved using the term “N****r” in an alleged “good cause”. Those fucking assholes at the sewage plant will never take a drastic step without Fatasses consent, They are too sycophantic to do otherwise.

One good thing lgf’s and loon cj has done for me was to enable and/or induce me to recontact many of my old high schoo, college and nam buds. I get them to use their e-mail address and get a nic and post a bit them I e-mail them what to post and they post for me via their addy’s. They live all the hell over some even in aussie land and asia, impossible for him to sort out.

Courtesy of the Culver City Jesus: “Exactly – this is not just some random idiot using quack techniques. It’s a recognized and scientifically valid techniques for identifying OR excluding individuals.”

1. What are YOUR qualifications to make this claim?

2. What are your credentials to make any claim on what is scientifically valid?

3. And your grammar dude. eeek.

“It’s a recognized and scientifically valid techniques…” When did YOU get off the boat?

If there had not been a public outcry over this, the case would have simply gone away. That’s what the Sanford PD tried to do to it. If no charges are handed down within a certain amount of time (I believe it’s 20 weeks, but I could be remembering incorrectly), someone like Zimmerman can never be charged for the crime even if new evidence comes out.

/// I could be remembering incorrectly, but I think the 20 weeks is for being under the influence of meth.///

With reference to Chunk’s hallucination of a 20 week limit on filing charges, there is no statute of limitation on a felony.

One of your many problems, Fatass, is that you got rid of all your posters who actually know stuff. Therefore, there is more pressure on you to try to add content, and then you expose your idiocy and lack of knowldege about much of anything.

courtroom law is pretty cool tho…I learned a few things from various trials, including my own…it’s another world, just as an aside…I kinda dug it

I remember testifying in court accused of robbing an abandon farmhouse (I did it)…I told about the Mi State Police (staked out) shooting at me as I was trying to get away in a hail of deadly gunfire (2 rounds hit my tailgate)…the shooting didn’t bother me nearly as much as court…I was terrified actually, but cool…I went down, did my time, but after that for a while, everybody wanted to hear that lead slug rolling around in my tailgate…one shot welded itself inside the gate, the second rattled around for a couple of years and I was a celebrity…clean holes too, just like Hollywood

I’m a big Dylan fan, and I saw that tour with Petty’s band backing him, in Detroit. Great show. I’ve seen Dylan five times, and that was the most energized and focused as he gets, at least in this town.

I have been trying to find Ol’ Mr. Bob’s recent performance at the TV and Film Critics Assn. 17th Annual Awards. During a tribute to Martin Scorcese, Bob and his boys (for my money STILL the best band in the land) ripped jaded Hollywood apart with a version of his “Blind Willie McTell” that damn near lit my eyeballs on fire. 70 year old mensch with a ‘tude and still the greatest singer of a song around.

I’m not going to get into a Dylan-defense argument, but I do disagree that everyone who covers one of his brilliantly written songs does it better than he does. For example, nobody can touch the songs on “Blood On The Tracks,” or at least, nobody does them nearly as well as he did. However…Miley Cyrus did a beautiful take on one of my favorite all-time tunes, on the recent Dylan compilation.

If you haven’t already, check out the official video of this. I was deeply moved and I’m generally NOT more fond of the various and sundry covers apart from the obvious ones like Jimi. Man, if modern country music goes down this path they might have something. Oh, and the shootyourselfinthefootmotherfucker is really a horrid human being.

Thank you BRC for the data – now available for anyone to search with results formatted in special Cheeto and Mountain Dew styling. As a bonus, it even gives you links back to the swamp urls where these gems were first made public.

Ludwig, you are the one who often wraps himself in the cloak of the expert, and derides others for their lack of professional qualifications. That is why I asked.
Can we please put a stop to the accusations that LVQ is not really a scientist? I’ll vouch for his credentials. I know his real name and where he works and he is NOT LYING.

Why the hell would you have stayed there? Outside of maybe 3 commenters – Buck,lawhawk, and,maybe one other person, they are all a bunch of maroons. Life is too short and precious to waste time on ignoramuses who see Nazis and raaaaacists every where.

There is something utterly moronic in blocking dormant accounts for fear of sleeper trolls.
Not big league. And a silly excuse. The regulars exist in that space in order to pile on “trolls”. It is the only entertainment offered. Just like the Palestinian bombed car swarms. Actually, lgf is becoming more like Ramallah each day. Deluded, hysterical, stupid, vicious.

ha! found it! what a awesome tool the wingularity is! I remember when the wing dings first appeared and people were all ablather about it. I posted what I was using it for (very politely, I might add – ugh, I sounded almost sharmuta-like in that last sentence! body shudder!) and the fat fuck confirmed that was it exactly. which, in turn, confirms that he and the freaks changed the rules after he stupidly changed his mind and started showing who dinged and donged what.

re: #556 Kirly

I think Charles is right on both counts…there would be some public accountability but there might be even more arguments from people demanding to know why they were given a negative.

For the record, I use the ratings when I agree with a post but all I have to say is “yeah, what they said”. I find those posts boring and I assume that most others would find a post by me saying that same thing boring as well. And I give a negative rating when I simply disagree but don’t really have anything much to add or when I find something particularly offensive.

I had assumed that Charles could always see what and how everyone was rating and so if I wasn’t using it the way he intended, he’d tell me.
